Recovery week, nice. But a decent effort session to inject some speed into the legs, the one real difference this week being no long run and we ditch a strength session. Whilst they may not always feel necessary they allow us to absorb the recent training load and then kick on with the next few weeks with higher volume. Any problems let me know but keep up the great work Chris.

Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training. Have fun!
If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.
A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
A good all round workout you can do at home. Simple but really effective. If you repeat this twice a week and slowly add to the weights you are going to make some good gains in the long run.
If you superset the exercises it should save time and hopefully make it achievable in around 60 mins.
Maintaining your current 5k pace will get progressively more challenging as a session unfolds. So breaking it down in this nature should allow you to maintain that pace for the whole session.
